I have a server I am running and I struggle a little bit understanding iptables. Currently, I would like to deny all traffic coming from the outside my private network (unless I make the connection), and I'd like to open one port for a daemon I'm running, but only allow connections from the local area network.
I type iptables -L to view the firewall rules:

I look at the INPUT chain and see I'm allowing domain and bootp traffic. I have a DHCP server running on the network, but my addresses on this server are configured manually. I will be setting up a PXE server but have little experience in booting images over the network. From what I've read though, I wouldn't need the bootp ports open on the firewall. I'd just need to open the PXE server ports (maybe port 4011 UDP, 3928 TCP, 3928 UDP).
I see in the INPUT chain, after I accept incoming established connections, the following rule:
Code: Select all
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
